Are you flying into Ohare or Midway?

If you are able to get to dallas/ft worth you could fly here for like 100$ round trip on spirit. Looks like it would be a little bit more expensive from Houston. Otherwise check southwest, which flies into midway.

Yeah; DFW-Ohare connector is the way to go. My mother's in fort worth; and it's a super easy connector on whichever airline you'd like. I'm an American/US Airways person thanks to penguin; but even that's well under 200 round trip.

Boystown has good food options that I'm highly familiar with, so...

Also, if I end up going, I'm totally making people go to Crisp b/c I didn't get to do that last time and that's still the best Korean Fried Chicken I've ever had.

Holy shit I'm getting hungry thinking of my favorite Chicago restaurants.

Damn Chicago is a good food city.

So does andersonville. I used to live a block away in ravenswood.

That I'm familiar with.

My ex lived in Boystown. I've spent a lot of time there.

That said, I'd be down for exploring a new neighborhood.

BROseidon · Post Post #157 (ISO) » Mon Dec 14, 2015 12:26 pm

Also it's good that this isn't happening the last weekend of may, because then I would have to say, "Sorry guys, in Chicago but gonna go do IML instead"

I imagine we'll do a lot of exploring.

Anyone who wants to go to wicker park or wrigleyville will have to do so without me, though. I hate those vacuous places.

I can fly into whichever airport. If I can fly out of Austin, that would be best but driving up to Dallas isn't that big a deal for me either as I have lots of family up there.

ISO · Post Post #161 (ISO) » Mon Dec 14, 2015 12:56 pm

If its a difference of ~150$ seems worth it.

AngryPidgeon · Post Post #162 (ISO) » Mon Dec 14, 2015 12:57 pm

If we do this on May 20-22nd then its officially for my birthday ; )

dramonic · Post Post #163 (ISO) » Mon Dec 14, 2015 5:53 pm

Also I could most likely attend!

Crisp is great drunk food. My fave wing place in the city sober or drunk. South Andersonville also has Hot "G" Dog, which is the spiritual sequel to Hot Doug's, and it's also next door to a bathhouse, leather store, and the only Chicago dispensary. No wait, that doesn't sound like Andersonville at all.

It's 350 round trip from Fort Walton Beach, Florida to Chicago right now. Let me in if you find a good deal, please :3

Also, I talked to Llamarble last night at the company christmas party and he said he's probably down to help out and host some people.

BROseidon · Post Post #169 (ISO) » Tue Dec 15, 2015 4:36 am

I'm getting progressively more hype about this.

I could probs be able to take a 1/2 day off or work remotely for a day to come to this. My boss is pretty chill #startuplyfe.

BipolarChemist · Post Post #170 (ISO) » Tue Dec 15, 2015 12:32 pm

I think I said probably not before, but I have upgraded to a possibly.

ISO · Post Post #171 (ISO) » Wed Dec 16, 2015 4:27 am

The weekend of the 13-15 works best for me, but I can do other dates. We need to get together (me, llamarble, cabd, PA) and decide when this will be. We should probably have an update soonish so people can start to make travel arrangements.

A Man's Country. I honestly thought it was just a leather bar, but turns out it's a bathhouse. Just learned last week from their website.

Andersonville has Mary's Attic as well - plus @tmosphere and Replay (a barcade) just opened up here. If any of that interests any of you.

Hi shea

Hi shea

I imagine people will want to do some amount of daytime exploring themselves and they'll have diverse interests about what they want to do or so. I'd like us all to do 1-2 touristy things together and probably try to go out to eat a couple of times. (iirc quadz and singer often provided a dinner at their place a couple nights so that the more budget conscious didnt have to eat out every night. I think we'll probably do that too, but I also want to get a list of restaurants together that people are interested in because chicago has such great food.
